Novellista Violet Charade is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Émilie Bouge. Violet Charade opens with Lemon, Pepper, and Apple, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Novellista's Violet Charade carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A love-it-or-hate-it scent that's often compared to Layton and Naxos, but don't expect a dupe. It's dark, mysterious, and has a unique green violet character that's surprisingly seductive.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Casual Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its darker, sensual profile, make it ideal for date nights and evening wear. While versatile enough for some casual settings, it's a bit too mysterious for the office or gym.

About

Violet Charade kicks off with a zesty lemon and crisp apple, quickly followed by a hint of pepper. The heart reveals a verdant, almost green violet, mingling with sensual jasmine and a touch of ylang-ylang. It settles into a warm, inviting base of cashmere wood, earthy patchouli, and sweet vanilla, creating a nuanced and evolving experience.
